1:50

girl my girl did you use that in the singular assuming just thought of us such low expectations huh walaikum A'Salam people all right I'll see if Elizabeth is right that's what we're talking about people that's what we're talking about what's going on what is going on right so cut us zoom in to get some of these questions let me put

2:29

this on silent silence Silencio Silencio people so mm-hmm what else is naughty naughty so dear Mufti after watching you I went and checked those references yes alone this is like a letter dear oh this is apathy a slot opened yeah I should read who the message is from first but I'm not dear Mufti Abu layth after watching your

3:06

video on false messiahs I went and checked those references and not one turned out to be true obviously yeah not one all of them turned out to be true not one but do you see the irony in that if they turn if they didn't turn out to be true neither did your Messiah this is called teaching through irony all right

3:43

so so what's going on may Allah bless you bring help my friends and I convert god bless whoa all right I helped your friend comfort yes Allah may God bless your friend and you and all right what's going on Khadija how was your trip trip was awesome or turned out false law okay first of all I'll just answered the Messiah false messiah question write the refutation of the false messiahs was actually correct it's not that it wasn't

4:23

I was sent some linked by some Qadiani saying look you got this wrong and and what they meant by wrong was things like oh you know he's saying this but this is still kind of right it's just basically interpretations and I think they said something about you know you quoted you said one of these books and the book you mentioned Oh in his biography and haha the book isn't a biography it's a compilation work or something and hahahahaha that's one mistake and you know like this this is what they

5:01

meant by you you're getting these things wrong what part of do I look like I'm bothered did you not get okay yeah you know nobody is interested in party any Islam I mean I just simply don't care did you really think I was gonna dedicate a lifetime to studying mirza ghulam ahmed Qadiani you gotta be joking there are way too many TV series to be watching ratha researching god the any islam yes

5:38

i I went through some basic things and I highlighted them I'm not saying that the car the unnies are going to accept that interpretation that's obvious they're not going to but these things were from official there's so many websites and reach the the research I took was from a certain data loom I think at the time I quoted it and the dodder loom had already done all their research so if you've got an issue with it take it up with them you're happy it doll legal new ally you know this false messiah thing just not going to work is not working you know and as far as you know things

6:18

like they said oh he never died with cholera and but he did I mean that's what the reports say I mean I to be honest with you I can't really care less about wala Musa I'm a serial kisser Hariram Hariram serial kisser kadir sahib in my reputation i couldn't really care less what he did or didn't do he really doesn't occupy my mind you know you're giving me too much you give me too much credit yeah I really couldn't care less honestly ah you don't like my radar of

6:57

my conch conscientious thoughts from the most bizarre things that are they it it it doesn't even strike it's not even near them it's not even a blip on that radar I honestly don't care like it's hmm yes you guys shouldn't have picked on me you know you shouldn't have tried to pulley me you know this one not working I'm not nice you know this world because you people that doesn't make any sense you see I I did not really bother with the Qadiani people I just left them and I was actually very kind of

7:35

[Music] compassionate towards people treating how they should treat the carnies and stuff and I suppose I still I still advocate that we shouldn't you know there shouldn't be any kind of persecution and things like that but I was actually when I used to be asked questions I never used to really go into it much and I never used to that much dis or B but they came attacking me yeah yeah I don't know what they woke up drunk or something and thought I know from all the people let's pick on Mufti I believe have they never watched any of

8:13

my Monday nights with most evil God's sake up Joe I warned you I said look listen I left them a nice message on Instagram saying leave me alone otherwise I'm gonna troll the hell out of you like you you've picked on the wrong guy this is like and they did they leave me alone no I said to them so their job that you know become straight suit yourselves out but they said you're bigger limb Emmas I was so dynamic but

8:51

there's too much fun in this you know so then you know they get the taste of the medicine you know this one there you go I'm Joe you can now all ten of them or how I'm number of them and then now they're trying to educate me about you got this wrong we don't [Music] sorry totally not interested totally not

9:26

interested right so right let's move on to something more interesting to be honest with you this is before I move on I'll give a little message to any of my are the only friends out there friends friends friends listen people on a serious note now serious serious you know I'd be serious now okay so I understand that look everybody most people are just born into something so I understand you're just born into the the faith in the same manner I don't hold that against you but

10:05

what I would say as is on a serious note is that really you know when you're on your own as the Quran say is that in a miser come be wise I only tell you one piece of advice that when you're on your own just think about this just think about is this really that God really God's great plan of divine intervention for Humanity was to speak to this guy in Punjab during the colonial periods and have a chat with him in Punjabi and then tell him I love you in English and you know and give him these kind of messages and and nothing comes off it

10:44

you know that's just like such a failure that's like that's I'm sorry to say but that really is like he's miserably failed I mean if this is if Qadiani is humanity's solution that's that's an abysmal failure like out rather yes like I'll be looking to like how do I use an eyes myself can I just like can I kind of can i smother myself to death it's like I'd be so embarrassed honestly if I wasn't and so I'm not saying this to

11:22

disrespect you but I I know it sounds disrespectful not trying to be you know I try to be serious but then I just anyway so being serious look just think about think about it Islam has stood the test of time it has truly shown and altered the the path and trajectory of human civilization it definitely has played a huge contributory role to where humanity is

11:59

today one may argue is it still as playing that same role today I mean probably not because Muslims have decided to become a bit the way they have today but that said it has played for centuries I mean and nobody can deny that it is actually like I mentioned the true the only religion objectively speaking that sealed the deal when it came to global faiths there was never a faith after Islam that would ever take such a global resting place now you can think of discard eonni ISM really

12:37

compared to and if it does find if you feel that it does it you know floats your boat TK maza Korea chill chill out man don't worry about it but if you really you know on your own just have a think about it just think you know God's sake what have I been what have I been believing all this time but cool but that's some serious advice okay this is what we call heart to heart I have a heart to heart with you you know how I can deal k bill

13:14

Meera dr. Conoley so this is this is a personal right so think about it people think about it now let's take some let's move on to some all right somebody to ask me about my trip yeah good trips always great to just chill out take a little break especially as it gets a bit icy in the UK I went out some book shopping these people has coming to print recently this is called a thoroughly clean this is a commentary on a major maliki fit text known as the mostest or of Holly the it's a brief

13:54

text of Holly which holds a high position in malloc you fit now this commentary is really by a Bob Dylan mob work who's famous as they call him Alan my work or sometimes they call him abnormal waffle as well now he passed away eight nine seven hey Jerry so we're looking really almost you know over we're looking over five hundred years ago at least but the interesting thing about this scholar I bought this this is in about I believe it's six volumes it's recently come out there was a small

14:34

commentary of his this is the larger key is that two commentaries a small and a more in-depth commentary and this is the more in-depth one that has now recently been released I thought that because I am due to start teaching fit soon once I run a dummy class on some one of those websites I was looking at a website called twitch by the way if somebody has some better suggestions do reach out to me in the past I used to teach on something called whiz IQ wieszczyk but that was many years ago I'm sure they've kind of upped the game by now so I've been referred to a few and some I'm

15:14

thinking of going with this twitch but do give me your feedback on that so I was looking at when I do start teaching of maybe teaching Holly motorcycle Eiland so this is an awesome commentary why I actually like my walk my work people let me tell you a bit about him just very briefly he was the last remaining heavyweight dawn of Muslim Spain okay he in fact lived into the the final collapse the absolute collapse of Muslim Spain and at that time he was a very old man he's

15:51

like from the students of he like comes a generation or two after people like imam shot to be and even asked him and all those kind of great scholars of granada and lived in granada and when granada fell are not are they cool in arabic when it fell and Ferdinand and Isabella they've kind of come in on the horses and it's a very tragic story where about Bella with a cool bow up till in English he kind of signed over Granada because Granada is a very difficult due to its landscape it's

16:29

virtually impossible to forcibly conquer like as in because it's surrounded by mountains and then it has a kind of like an entrance point where you can come in but because that's where the fortresses are and it's higher so it's not easy to kind of like you can't surround the whole city and you know you can't just sneak into the city for example the people have to open the gates to you so it's a very those of you that haven't visited Muslim Spain you should do so and I have a course on Muslim Spain as well in sorry a history course on

17:08

YouTube called al-andalus from rise to fall and so when Muslim Spain fell in the year 1492 Abu Abdullah who was the last remaining who's quarter abdullah sahib he he was the last remaining king of granada he signed over a treaty and he opened the doors and part of the treaty he signed over i think it was in the course i go through in detail I think was 67 conditions that he had the Pope sign to countersign and really Muslims told him at the time that this is stupid because these conditions mean

17:47

nothing to these people they had laid siege to Granada for for almost I mean they had made many attempts they were trying to kind of conquer it with actual attempt for almost two years and I think that last siege was for almost nine and during that time Isabella had sworn never to take a bath Isabella thought I know I'll just you know with my stench oh I'll force them to vacate the

18:25

fortress my disposing of this kind of this older so Isabella for God's sake didn't take a bath for I think those nine months I mean what the hell would have that been like so the fingers that so anyway and so the history I go through a lot of the details in my course about where they set up camp Santa Fe which is now a town and stuff like this but nevertheless eventually I bought the LA agrees to letting them in with all these conditions and they pay him all this money and and then he leaves Spain and

19:05

heads to modern-day Morocco to northwest Africa and mother at the time and people did tell him but part of the condition was he had to bring in Isabella and Ferdinand the host they were on horseback and he had to kind of hold the reins of the horse and lead them into her own opera through the doors of Granada and and they did and when they came in one of the first things they did was in the palace I'll hammer our palace they had they put up the crucifix on but on the roof and and then they obviously started to put things into order and one

19:44

of the things that they had was like a large gathering a convention they call the people of the town they get together and then they said who is the oldest most senior authority scholar that that is present amongst them so it was no other than our legend Alma work he was the he was a very old man in his I believe 90s at that time or late 80s and he was the most senior authority Islamic Authority in Allen I mean in Grenada and Grenada was the last bastion of Muslim Spain so so they called him and they said that

20:23

he had to concede to them he had to accept in front of because if he did then that would reduce the chances of an uprising and I mean it was too late for an uprising now anyway once they were inside it was it was over and so he does and I walked in like girls and he has to then kiss the hand of Ferdinand and Isabella I mean poor my walk I mean I hope she'd washed her hands at least by that because for God's sake if she hadn't been bathing for nine months at least let's hope she had been at least washing her hands for nine months but nevertheless so he does in public sub of

21:02

the love more what kind of kisses their hand and and then and that's it then retreats but he's an amazing scholar and he's inside so sometimes very conducive for our day and age and maybe that's because of the day and age he lived in when Muslims were under threat when an Islamic identity was under threat when and so you know it's it's so he's somebody I've always kind of been a fan of and so I brought his commentary it's in six five to six volumes I picked up

21:37

this book al it's on I think I made a quick snapchat of it as well and it's just it's it's a classic it's just about virtue is it's about issues to do with the Koran miscellaneous matters and it deals with things like surahs how they reveal the virtues rulings but what I actually brought it for is a topic I'm currently researching which is to do with edges of the Quran what is the miraculous nature of the Quran and what is the the landscape the broad discourse that scholars have presented so I thought that's something interesting that's one book amongst a few on going

22:17

through on that matter there's a few other books I'm going through dealing with errors in the Quran right this was an interesting text people this was to do with popular hadith that asked theme sake but they've got a weak thing and to them so they have a weak part and so so for example like let's say here's a popular hadith al will do shuttle Iman that we do is a portion of a man of faith what see work shuttle will do and miss work using the see work is a portion of Voodoo but that part in rent

22:55

was see work shuttle will do is actually week it's not a so like this what is this hadith has done is bro famous hadith that have a sahi part to it but a certain portion of that hadith is actually week I thought that's interesting hmm let's let's take a look at this so for example there is a hadith to do with Hajj man Akiyama Imam Juanes hata a veto for God Adric al Hajj whosoever reaches the you know the standing Mina and with the Imam and

23:33

people until they go then he has reached Hajj and then this apart in red now says woman Lemieux Derick German fella has allah and whosoever does not reach it has no Hajj now that part is not authentic so it's interesting it's interesting i mean i thought well why not why now I'll show you some of these just briefly this is a a book I've got before I just picked up a different print it's the famous chef at mature kids commentary on evening kathy donneson hadith on the study of hadith and how you know how these are categorized and all the debates around that I mean it's nothing new I've got it before I just thought oh

24:13

that's a nice print it's an interesting text is why a contemporary called Allah Jews which means the old woman but that's not why is named it that and it's to do with words that have peculiar mean peculiar kind of meanings and opposite meanings so that's something linguistic I just thought I saw it and I thought well hmm so for example the term hard the key is a word alcohol so he's got it the whole thing versified he says well hey Luke a broom hey moon

24:49

waffle jebel abdomen and then he says women he says women to our Hill um wash our madam filibuster so the point is that this is like he's made it as a poem but the howl in Arabic those of you that are studying our week huh can mean like you know you get a like kind of you know like what they call like beauty spots or these kind of things too if they call that a howl in other way it's also called a shaman in our week right so so that's called a howl but the uncle is called a howl arrogance clouds

25:26

a great mountain all of these things are called howl in Arabic but then he also says wall hollow even a Lavar wall barkovis on ozawa woman for odd hoo-ha mean hobby that'll Hawaii so he says alcohol is also somebody it's a it's a flag that is made for a kind of foreign army or something like this and lightning and suspicion or thought and a

26:00

person who who is madly in love person who is madly in love with a woman who whose eyes look at look at the detail that they're going into you that are eyes that they are like the actual is either so dark black with such a bright white kind so the the disparity the contrast of her eyes the brightness of the white and the darkness of the black like these things are so outstanding so and that's by the way where they get the

26:36

term in paradise the it's to do with the ICC being so the darkness being so dark and the whiteness being so white so that's an example anyway not to kind of let you guys get distracted but yes so some of these things I thought I'll just show you some this is a Muslim of the motto of imam al done by contemporary scholars including chef abdelkader Arnold for example amongst them now what that means is they've organized the map of Imam Malik according to the Sahaba the Companions

27:15

of the Prophet and how many hadith they transmit so anyway that's some and there's some other some of the little books I kind of picked up while I was there but yeah people I thought I'd share some of that with you health clerics aminal a jeremyeve now hell yeah I think I must have read that so many years ago when I was still a teenager but some people say who is neither male nor female Oh gender-fluid are you asked that Imran Khan you naughty naughty

27:54

gender-fluid the empowered you turn up to Jinnah so again let's say we turn up to Jinnah and we have gender fluid and we say sorry I I thought I was expecting though are you are you the hood and and the hood is like did you assume my gender I thought you and you say something like you say oh no it's just that I thought she would be and the whole says excuse me she she excuse me

28:35

it's gender fluid here well that will be one hell of an interesting will be like a charm these games and Anjana if only I knew that these were the games we were meant to be preparing for so right so right well

29:12

well it does sound sometimes a bit close to another word in English which is not a nice word so you have to be careful on the pronunciation people okay be careful right so let's take some questions right so I believe they are female like can surah Rahman omok so rotten filthy um okay we've got Imran honey still contemplating the nature of the hood you

29:51

gotta say that some of the you know the stories you'd hear as a kid and growing up about holes I totally couldn't understand what I remember somebody telling me in the local masjid they go there's gonna be such a hole in paradise I mean so okay some stories you could get that you think oh oh you know like they'll say like she's so I don't know if she was to add it all like spit in the sea the whole sea would become so sweet and okay those kind of things you can get you can fathom but I remember

30:30

being told a story like they said oh you know when you get to paradise and the whole they said that so this is particularly hold and her bones are transparent or something so when you look at her you can see her ball house think I just totally couldn't get what the I was like I was like good good the other ping the it's on blagging too much you need to calm down doesn't make any sense what you actually said what do you mean like you're looking at

31:08

you could see through the bones like how is that meant to be in any way alluring she's got see-through bones sick what kind of game is this you're like yeah this ain't the reward I was asking for anyway let's take a look at some other interesting questions people can we put we've got wassouf big asking can we put money in the saving account that pays

31:44

interest while people can wish uh can somebody put their their account details on here for him to put the money into the saving into the saving accounts so Oh people that reminds me we'll be talking in a while about the mufti masalas so interesting interesting news going on with chelicerata but I'll get to that later on so yes before I digress yes look interest I've

32:20

got a detailed video on I've got a detailed video on mortgages loans what they mean why interest doesn't mean the ink why the interest of the Quran doesn't generally apply to these things these institutions today no matter how bad these institutions are the ripa of the Quran doesn't apply to it they are not rebel jahiliya in that sense ontologically rather in terms of the essence okay I'm not saying they're good but they're not the same thing

32:58

so I have explained the closest you could get to rebel jahiliyyah is like a loan shark kind of dangerous loan shark which would then apply so that would be Haram and that would be what the Quran was condemning it doesn't the institution's stopped working the same way and I've got a detailed video anyway so you can watch that it's on YouTube why go over the same thing now so it's okay how is Islam religion relevant today Oh yeah how is Islam relevant today that's

33:36

a good question you see somebody asked a question they said to me and that ties in here as well so somebody messaged me said look I've left the Islam and they said well I've left a few years ago the person said and he said well look you know it doesn't make any sense and bla bla bla and he said look I wish I'd come across your videos before maybe things would have been different I mean a cello

34:14

no big deal depends which videos of mine right so the so the person says well look you know all these things and does it really add up and you know and I think he shared a video of some ex-muslim I think I think it was a video from Hassan radwan about why Islam doesn't make sense or something like this so anyway I watched a bit of the clip and and I did kind of respond I said look you see to me because person was asking me

34:52

I said look to me you have to go back to the beginning okay religion isn't you see what people think okay this is what some people feel their religion ought to be like a and an absolute answer like faith is an absolute answer of certainty in the now and forever you see to me it's not like that to me faith is like a journey and it's a lifelong journey it's not something which is it's not something yeah

35:31

absolute and certain and a kind of certitude that is always oh I've got the answers to everything right now and now I'm always going to have the answers to everything to me it doesn't - some people they might pretend that is what religion means for them I think that's I don't know I think that that doesn't make sense to me anyway to me it's a journey ok so I said you've got to go back to the beginning so I wrote that in my response to this person I said look to me the world creation

36:07

consciousness just being conscious the cosmos all of these things are too grand to be meaningless to me that's to me I mean you can disagree with me but to me for them to mean nothing like consciousness in and of itself to mean nothing it just doesn't settle with me I don't buy that that it means nothing to me that it must mean something to some people find I mean they might think you

36:45

know to me this means nothing the fact that I can make meaning of things the fact that I can appreciate things the fact that I can understand that this is nothing but to me that doesn't add up that shows that there is something greater than us that's something greater I mean what if I you know he doesn't mind what language you're gonna call in God or Allah or whole da or whatever you gonna call him that's the beginning point and then from there you work forward ok so that's how we because if

37:21

something if this being exists then we move forward from that point and it is a journey so like I said from all the world faiths the only one that really stands any test of reason and critical thought to me is Islam now not to mention that I mean notwithstanding the fact that there is a lot of baggage I accept that but cultural baggage and people you know institutionalization along the way and the clergy and all this stuff I accept all of that but in essence Islam is the only one that can stand

37:59

it can stand the rigorous test of reason according to me so and any you move forward with that but it is a journey it's not a set of absolute answers as in oh I've got the answer to everything now aha I'm done it's not like that for me anyways I feel it's gonna be a journey throughout life faith does give people not only meaning it gives them strength it gives them solace it gives them like you will see for example throughout the world how people cope with even hardships you will see

38:36

that people who have religion they cope much better than people who don't have religion generally speaking from and you see it's interesting because from and if you were just objectively viewing religion from a study of religion religion definitely there's some things in religion that are very negative unquestionably like things like this is religion with the capital R that's things like superstition superstition blocks people inhibits growth the

39:15

controlled people religions have this they have a lot of controlling power they control this this it's for the power of the elite they kind of usually extortion it's they extort the masses and this happens in all religions it happens in Islam too so people the mullahs are kind of like trying to extort the masses all the time and this goes it happens in Christianity with the priests it happens in Hinduism with the pundits it happens everywhere so and superstition like all this whole magic and all this nonsense and evil eye and all this kind of stuff it's it's all

39:54

nonsense but it inhibits human growth so these are the bad things associated with religion but you see according to my understanding all these things are false and Islam actually came to remove them but it's a different matter that today many people might believe in them but that's more or a result of politics human power and institutionalization it's not because of the religion itself but when you look at the plus side the positives like things like providing meaning to life providing

40:29

as a will to live providing the kind of [Music] the coping mechanisms that religion always outweighs the absence of religion and so I think to say religion is meaningless is not true religion provides people with a story it provides them with strength to go on in this world and Islam specifically what does it have to offer mankind today I think that is a very good question because and it can it can from one perspective be a

41:09

tough question because of how Muslims are behaving generally so Muslims are behaving in a way that we don't have much to offer anymore so that so because of that it becomes a tough question that what the Muslims have to offer we don't have much to offer from one perspective from the other perspective we still have the concept of humanity but divinely inspired now you could say well today in the West we have civil rights which we do and we have human rights which we do and much greater than in the Muslim world and unquestionably that is true

41:46

but still there isn't a kind of you know in the way you know Muhammad al-abbas Ali the Sheikh Muhammad Ali was a leader I don't mean Imam al-ghazali of the past but chef Muhammad al-abbas Ali who is a student of people like Rashid radon and these forth who passed away from Egypt recently an amazing legendary legend of a scholar very open-minded a kind of breath of fresh air and a beacon of reason in his time now he was dealing with this question of what does Islam have to offer today and he said that and

42:24

you know something amazing he said he said well how about this he began by saying how about that none of you have faith if you sleep with a full stomach while to your neighbor whilst your neighbor remains hungry now you might think well hmm what's so special about that hadith but in that hadith this simple example it encapsulates the essence of religion which was humanity that look you see today human rights

43:02

don't really push a sense of a kind of kin like a family like essence to humanity they don't push that at all in these societies we have human rights but we don't have like people are polite but they're not really friendly they're not really caring like that I mean they do care about something I'm not saying the cold-hearted people at all I'm not saying that but they they like they're not so bothered about somebody could be starving down the road that's his

43:41

problem that's her problem see people have become very self-centered and although they do care about every human being having human rights but it's not their response it's the system's responsibility to cater for that individual Islam has this to offer it has this to offer this kind of that you are actually in essence one kind of you are one people from one source that you are all related that you have a responsibility to provide that kind of

44:20

that warmth of comfort not just like oh the system needs to do and I think that in itself as even a beginning point has so much to say speaks volumes so we need to you see sometimes we're looking for so many things that as an answer Oh Islam will answer you know it will give this it will give this it will give but really it's the basics the grassroot things that matter and that that's what I would begin with I would say he has these things too but we need to stop this Islam as a political solution to

44:58

offer Islam has this to offers now start with Islam came for Humanity that's what it has to offer humanity so that's what I would say now you could argue that true you can arrive at humanity without Islam I would say that's true you can but having a kind of a divine guidance to it a divine texture to this just gives it a whole new level of importance you see because it's not that people in these societies are

45:37

stupid it's not that they don't feel empathy they do they know that somebody is hungry it's not that they don't they can't reason that we ought to help but it's easy to just displace it by saying well the system should just take care of them but it's different when there's a kind of divine guidance to that so I would say that it has it does have a lot to offer but maybe not what people are thinking these people some Muslims have this whole oh it has to offer it's a caliphate it has to offer you think all for God's sake that's the last thing we need you

46:15

know this kind of just political control by control freaks that's are not the things you know it's not here to kind of like rule people and kill people and rob people's wealth and all these kind of nonsensical things question Salaam brother I keep asking that Ali Imran verse stating that you will talk in the cradle and in maturity how is it miracle to speak as an adult jazakallah a/k/a law hora what a name what a name right so this is

46:54

the question people that I I believe I've answered before but I'll take her I'll take a little stab at it again so look people say did Jesus speak in the cradle alayhis-salam Jesus Christ right you know actually on a side note just to say it is amazing how ISA ELISA Lam Jesus is one of the the most amazing people in what he has inspired after him it is amazing in that sense that the

47:32

whole world today not the whole world but a substantial part of the world how it's all being influenced to some extent by Christianity as so by Islam as well but by Christianity as well the Roman Empire things like this and how dad has then you know obviously finds even though one could say whether it was st.

47:56

Paul or other people that had a greater influence but the point is it still traces its roots to Jesus Christ aleihsalaam now right so the question is did Jesus speak to speak as a baby people feel that the Quran teaches us that Jesus spoke as as a baby was a child or something now I have mentioned that the Quran doesn't actually say that okay now there's two things there's different

48:34

verses that can be used to allude to that okay so there's one verse so the story that people have taken okay so this is the common story that a lot of Muslims have Muslims believe that Mary went off came back with a baby and the Jews were up in arms and they said stone her stone heard old through adultery and she said and Jesus spoke to them as a little let's say as a two three month old baby and he started to speak and he

49:12

said to say you know hey this is this and they said oh wow and then they said okay we won't stone you this is what a lot of Muslims do believe this unfortunately it's not actually true in my understanding at all but a lot of Muslims believe is and as a story it sounds nice so I get that the reading of the Quran can bend that way I accept that it can bend it doesn't actually explicitly say any of these things but it can bend that way to carry this story that I've just explained the truth is the nature of the Quran

49:52

whenever speaking about Jesus is often vague and ambiguous it's never quite clear and I think that's fascinating and one of the reasons it may have adopted that nature was so maybe Muslims could bridge a gap between them and Christians but whenever the Quran speaks about Jesus like I said it will mention a lot of things which are very we don't fully understand what they mean like what does that even mean and what is this like why is Jesus referred to as the Word of God logos which is from the Bible and what does that even mean that

50:29

Jesus is the word of God and Jesus has the Holy Spirit with him no other prophet is really mentioned in the Quran with the Holy Spirit no the prophets mentioned is the Word of God these kind of things are really vague like we don't fully understand what what is what is going on here why our biblical almost Christian concepts which no Muslims actually believed no Muslims believe that they don't believe in Jesus to be the Word of God but yet the Quran does say that Jesus is the word of God so what was this saying here that it's quite vague in its essence and

51:06

like I said it was using terms to build bridges between Christians and Muslims now which it did to a great extent so the story coming back to this point and the reason why that is important is you've got to understand once you understand that okay there were vague terms used to build bridges it then helps you understand this there's two points where this is mentioned one is this story of Mary and Jesus pointing to Jesus most likely this event has nothing to do with Jesus being a baby okay the

51:44

reason being in all honesty if Mary came back with a baby and and the Jews at the time felt she had committed adultery let's say let's run with this hypothesis there is no question that they would have killed her there is no question about that Mary was nowhere near a force to spot the Jews okay from killing her they would have stoned her to death there is no two ways about that saying that oh they saw the miracle of Jesus and therefore stopped is silly because they never ever accepted Jesus they never in

52:23

fact they lead to his crucifixion in the end right because they never accept I mean whether he actually dies or not is obviously Muslims don't believe he actually died there but the point is the crucifixion is in putting him up on the cross this was done by the Jews so it's not that they weren't really gonna be enamored by Jesus Christ they didn't like Jesus by any standard and they weren't gonna say oh wow that's a miracle so we now believe in Jesus they don't believe in Jesus Ryan they never did believe in Jesus so that wasn't gonna stop them they would have just killed him as well isn't so this story

53:02

like I said if you zoom out you know it comes to that zooming out and zooming in if you zoom out it's a nice story and it's nice and you can run with it if you want but if you zoom in it doesn't add up none of the details actually add up because they would have just they would have cared because you know that because they didn't even care with Jesus they want to kill him so the other thing is Mary is never in the Bible ever accused of Oh tree nobody ever accused Mary of adultery through the early Christian sources I don't mean later on later on they did like hundreds of years after

53:42

Mary they started to accuse her of having an affair as the Christian started to popularize the concept that Jesus never had a father but in early Christianity this isn't a popular concept so nobody in the Gospels ever is speaking about all in the early in the New Testament nobody's really speaking of Jesus without a father so these things don't actually that they're not really mentioned at all back then and Mary is never ever you know she's never has an accusation in her lifetime of being an adulteress so this doesn't happen like that so now we've got a zoom

54:21

in and look at the details most likely this is referring to the incident which is referred to in the Gospel of Luke okay in the Gospel of Luke what happens is Jesus is brought to because remember Jesus is not from Jerusalem Jesus is from Nazareth and he grows up around the around Galilee and those places he doesn't grow up in Jerusalem at all although he does visit Jerusalem regularly may have visited every year as well as was mandatory upon males to visit the temple once a year now the

54:59

question is that in the Gospel of Luke at the age of 12 Joseph and Mary bring Jesus to the festival now when the caravan is about to set off and it sets off Jesus is missing and they can't find him and they search for Jesus according to the Gospel of Luke they searched for him for three days so they're looking for him for all these days and they can't find Jesus they don't know where he's a Mary is really worried away her son is eventually they find him sitting with the high priests in the Great

55:36

Temple so he's in Jerusalem and you're not really one children are not really meant to be going I mean they do Oh to the temple but they're not given any seniority any you know they don't have a place really they're just meant to kind of tag along but he's sitting in there debating the high priests so what happens is they are really kind of flabbergasted and they frustrated with him because who does he think he is he's just a kid yet he's getting the answers

56:13

right and he's running rings around some of them and he's a young man he's only 12 according to the Gospel of Luke so the question is that and he's there for a few days and this is in the Gospel of Luke this is the only incident really the main incident of Jesus before he becomes a man otherwise the Gospels don't speak of Jesus as a child this is one of the only mentions Jesus gets as a child in the gospel I think it's in the Gospel of Luke at the age of 12 when he's missing for over three days and Mary can't find him she eventually finds him in the in the temple with the high priests and he's debating with them and

56:51

teaching them so they find this or at least many of them if not all of them but many of them find this greatly offensive the how dear and if he and just to understand that you just have to look at how the high priests would behave the rituals in fact there were certain parts that nobody accept only certain priests could enter in that temple and there were certain things and certain offerings that you had certain rituals and not everybody could address all the high priests and they had a huge list a code of conduct and here is this young man debating them about God about

57:29

questioning them and running rings around certain things about them so they're getting very angry but it is a festival it's a holy time now Mary finds him when Mary finds him they this is where they say to her that he's yours is he your child and they say you and him like what an insolent disrespectful child and they say yeah Maryam yeah octa Harun you come from a

58:05

sacred kind of lineage like you you know old sister of Iran right Makenna abu qamha i saw him your father was not a man of bad conduct well math can its own monkey buddy yeah and your woman wasn't and your mother wasn't a filthy woman either here many people thought they're talking about adultery no they weren't they were talking about then how have you brought this thing how did he sit here and challenge us you know if you've come from a noble does he not understand nobility does he not understand

58:44

etiquettes so she just says like like she doesn't know what to say and plus a woman wasn't given a high place to speak so she points at him and he responds Allah in the Abdullah he said but I am just a servant of God and they are accusing him of not only being rude to them but inadvertently he's an affront to his mum because by bringing by being disrespectful he's bringing shame on to his own mother so here he says that Allah has made me Bertram be validity

59:23

he's made me like kind and good to my mother and the autonomous Salafi was the Kirti madam tae-hee and so these things that Jesus is saying is most likely the incident of when he was twelve years old with the high priests that's what this incident is talking about okay and hence they begin by when she says look why don't you just ask him I don't know they say kafir no curly woman Carnival Matty Sevilla how should you want us to speak to somebody who was only a child yesterday because he's 12 and they

1:00:00

belittling him man can a filmer disappear who is just a boy you want us to speak to this boy who was in the cradle only yesterday this is like when we say to people that you were only born yesterday and and you're trying to teach me this doesn't mean you're literally born yesterday but what it's trying to say like you have no experience like who are you that is what this verse is mentioning so that's one verse that people misunderstand and they think that oh this is speaking about Jesus was a baby talking to he wasn't doing that the other thing is that they use a verse

1:00:40

elsewhere that Jesus and his message that were you kill him on NASA film at Iwo Carolyn wofe is Salah and they think this is referring to Jesus because of the first story that they've misunderstood but it isn't that what you killed him on NASA he will speak to people Phil Matier Carolyn whether they he will speak to all people that are around him those in the cradle and those of old age too so what that means is

1:01:18

that Jesus when he will preach that he will have such wisdom that he will have an expression that it doesn't matter whether this so young he will be able to relate to them if they're so old he will be able to relate to them if there are amongst the pious he will be able to relate to them office salah that this film a diva Carolyn is not to do with the file the subject is to do with the mother all and ask you kalamoon us he will speak to met people film a diva Carolyn so this is the the difference so it

1:01:57

doesn't categorically say anyway that Jesus himself spoke but I accept that that is the popular story going by that interpretation and I think that interpretation is based on the apocryphal kind of Christian transmissions are not reliable but there are some Christian like so for example Jesus has some infancy there are some infancy gospel like the infancy Gospel of Thomas that's to differentiate from the Gospel of Thomas so he has the Gospel of Thomas Thomas but the infancy Gospel of Thomas and things like this way they speak

1:02:34

about Jesus as a child doing some of these things like he speaks as a baby and does these kind of things but these were not authentic even the Christians did not accept them now it may have been that in early times some Muslims assumed them to be correct and therefore interpreted these verses to match the apocryphal Gospels that they were finding the infancy Gospels so they may have said ah maybe that's what I lost trying to say and then they've twisted it that way but the verses didn't actually say that explicitly and I would

1:03:13

say once you zoom in with that story it falls apart so it's okay if you zoom out and it's just a nice story and then you could you could believe it it doesn't really make a difference it's just a nice story but when you zoom in it's a problem because nothing adds up because first of all Mary was never accused of adultery at all in her whole lifetime and you know none of these things actually happened so it doesn't add up like watts and if it had happened they would have just killed her and if this had happened if Jesus spoke as a baby they would have believed him as the Messiah but we never get him there's no such thing as them

1:03:50

accepting him as the Messiah and you know he's never considered even special as a boy he just goes back and so none of these things add up when you zoom in so I hope that makes some sense have you read the book about Jesus by Professor reza aslan I've read I've gone through I think about half of it it is a very good book what's it called Jesus of Nazareth I think it's a it's a very good good is it permissible to use leather goods derived from pig skin okay next question on right so pig skin there is a

1:04:29

difference of opinion the difference of opinion is based on the hadith that cool Oh a have been due behalf the whole that every hide every kind of skin of animals that is that has been cleansed is pure so once you turn it and you see to it it is now allowed to use the question is it says could look we have all we have does this include all or are there some exceptions so the majority of the scholars made exceptions to pig skin

1:05:06

some scholars made exception to two dogs as well but generally they said pig skin most of the scholars made an exception so they said Kulu except pig skin and some made more exceptions along the way some people said no Kulu means culo it means also amongst them you have you have the great malachy legend simon who is the author of the madonna in the Malky method he was of the understanding that all means all including pig skin is fine to weigh pig letter now the theory is of that opinion in the great much

1:05:46

they did imam doubt he was of that opinion and so they have been certain scholars of that opinion that pig skin is fine I mean in my understanding I would go with that as well I would say that it is it is permissible if a person I'm not saying you have to use it you know if you don't want to use it that's fine but I don't think it's haram to use in line with this based on this hadith that cool or helping do better for at the whole that every you have and since that is also an in-app therefore it applies so that would have been my understanding

1:06:27

somebody said Muftis voice is so soft I am listening to a woman speak and her voice is way deeper than his I have to lower her and raise his agent hush yes Allah if my voice is so low and the women you're speaking to have got deeper voices I don't know are they gender-fluid women [Laughter] well Adan whatever floats your boat

1:07:05

[Laughter] whatever floats your boat what's your opinion on fixed interest yep I've answered that until this day they can't agree on what is God's Word and what isn't Murat you can in Madras settle well I take it that's in grammar the mattresses in grammar most people won't understand them so but they're basically how grammar in Arabic is recognized how its formulated who came up with the rules so in the early days you had two major

1:07:45

splits you had the school of Basra school of Kufa and they were led by the wrong kind of people and Kelly LeBrock middle for a he D with Basra and you had a job for a Rossi and another people then people like a Sri and you've got obviously CBA the student of him and you've got on this side Farah and you've got that lab also on this side and you've got more buried on that side and these things like they're really fascinating I was willing to grammar so I really appreciated the kind of debates and everything I think it really stops with those two who both share the same

1:08:22

Cunha Abba love bus mobile read a novel of bus Salim and then after that it kind of merges into what is the mother of soft but that with people like embody and other people that start to emerge in the matter of South Baghdad [Music] today most of our grandma is pretty much Bosley heavily Bosley with some quick influences here and then a Jeremiah for example is very is influenced by kusik way of thinking so hence he uses words

1:08:58

like Jason so Jason is the goofy term for what the the BA series used Saku n-- things like when you say Huff they say huffed in Kufa they say char in in basra like these they had settled that major differences as well but these are subtle differences but yeah so anyway cool that's that which golden chain of empty Dima Malik reject his own Imam Malik

1:09:33

rejected slander of Maryam I'm not sure what that means how to specialize she's a black woman by the way Mufti how do you avoid messing up your hairdo when you do with all I just go straight over like that my here is pretty spiky as it is so what's the meaning purpose of life how to specialize I'm trying to catch up I realize that my the screen had frozen

1:10:12

the questions right so okay let's get back to which what was the question I was looking at right okay let me give a bit of context Jonathan Brown recently made a post I don't know if I should some screenshot of it and I made a

1:10:42

somebody wrote the meaning of life is 42 [Laughter] hell yeah so the so let's stick to before I transgress every way for I digress sorry transgress right so yes so Jonathan Brown wrote a post about look I have now he's been translating Sahil Hardy or certain portion of it I don't know but he wrote this post saying look

1:11:21

and I am so humbled by this experience Diamond Buhari was the Don of Don's and over time I've only come to realize how much greater of a Don needs than I thought I thought he's just at dawn but he's the dawn of the Don's of the Don's and he's so amazing and which he was and I don't doubt that man behad he was an amazing person but but he said like you don't understand like now I know how great he is because I've been going through his book sikhircha what book

1:11:59

have you been going through because what do you think is inside Bihari like it's just if collection of Haditha so I don't know what how you're reading into the geniusness of how do you interpret the genius of Imam Bihari by just reading a collection of hadith because the hadith are not his words anyway so he said you know I basically mama Hari was just up there and he said that despite being a non Arab we never have known of him to

1:12:38

have ever spoken other than Arabic that doesn't mean anything everybody back then spoke Arabic for God's sake it's the Arab world I mean it was the Muslim world the lingua franca of the world at that time especially during the Abbasid range and when Islam was at its peak and the civilization was blossoming and you know you've had all this info in flux of wealth and opulence and so you Arabic was the lingua franca so most people did speak another language because most people were not native Arabs they were Arabs by culture

1:13:17

and Arabs by language because they spoke our week but they were not Arabs by descent okay so in Mambo Hadi was not Arab by descent you know he's his his great-grandfather bordosa Bey is it's obviously definitely not an Arab name in fact he was a slave and then he's a freed slave and so on and he's but many even earlier than him imam abu hanifa and all these great Imams most of these her father of hadith these great scholars abu dawood tell me the all these great people were not Arabs by descent okay so most I'm not saying all but most weren't so they did probably

1:13:55

they must have spoken other languages and many of them even wrote even Imam has early all these people they even wrote in other languages like Farsi was a very popular language at the time so they spoke in Farsi or whatever the language they spoke in but it's not it doesn't mean that they were always writing because it's not the language to do things in you see so yes so anyway so Jonathan Brown was saying you know that this is so amazing and I'm so in order and this is this book and I'm against people trying to raise any doubts about this book because you know now I just

1:14:33

know the true genius of Imam Bihari and I shared the post or then I shared some screenshots of he and I wrote a post saying because somebody tagged me into it and I said look I appreciate his journey dr. Jonathan Browns an out of respect and I call him mustard because he you know that I said no stars Jonathan Browns development ill me development I respect it but I said look both could you have

1:15:05

of the matter is such you see for us we began this journey by studying the entire book with teachers cover-to-cover you see like you still wouldn't have even got to that stage yet like I don't think not my need is respect but I don't think any of these kind of people generally have even studied bihari from cover to cover with a teacher that was where we began that is where I began

1:15:41

almost 17 over 17 years ago I began my journey with Bihari by reading it from cover to cover and going through the whole thing studying it like actual study not just you know like being tested having to pass tests on me being you know the whole thing being then authorized to teach it so it's it's not a you know reading commentaries on it I read remember going through whole chunks I went through in fact almost the entire even about Paul's commentary I went to huge chunks of fertile body back then I mean this is you know we're talking just

1:16:21

under two decades ago almost 17 years ago so the point is that look we've done that you know this is nothing like you see our studies on Bihari when it comes to most of these Oh Lamar is way over the pay grade it's not it's like this this is nothing new for us like you know when we study Sahil Behati like this oh we've you know like to say oh the fit of the Mambo hardiness is in his garage you know it's in his his chapter headings but then with time with

1:17:00

research I began to realize oh well actually most of his chapter headings weren't even done by him and people actually edited his chapter headings a voice ha columnist Emily openly owns up to doing that and he's one of the key contributors to the copy of style Buhari we have today and I will will either body accepts that other people acknowledge that even Roger acknowledges in his photo body so all of these things that you see that oh so even the chapter heading our boy Stockton will suddenly says that oh by the way every cuz all of Sahil Bihari

1:17:38

today he just relies on this one rather dubious character called Ferrari and nobody seems to know who this forever he was I mean I know retrospectively everybody seems to know who he was but in his time nobody seems to ever vouch for him yes hundreds of years later people all vouching for him now but that is a matter they never met him in his own lifetime nobody seems to deem him to be authentic in hadith or reliable not a single person said that ever met for every vouched for him as a reliable

1:18:16

transmit from hadith so everything comes through Ferrari robberies own students and his six key students and amongst them the key three and believe the senior one of us happen was Tommy Lee he is saying himself that by the way our teachers copy was an incomplete copy it was still a draft copy and he says and we used he says they were chapter headings with no hadith in me and they were hadeeth with no chapter heading so we used to move them around now you see this kind of stuff has been happening and then people have been adding they've been taken away if you look at even of

1:18:54

the Hadees book on the FT laughs of the gnosis the different scripts of Sahil Bihari where he shows not only words not only subtle names in tire chains are different sometimes so we don't have a single version of style for Hari today that can authentically with certainty go back to Imam Bihari so the question is well okay you know we still respect it's still a great piece of work and we take things from it but we always measure it up to the Quran if it doesn't add up if it contradicts with the Quran on anything we always leave it we don't

1:19:34

leave the Quran based on that you gotta be crazy you gotta be smoking some Seri stuff if you're gonna abandon the Quran based on huh bro I had of Imam Bihari which by the way doesn't even reach him on Bihari authentically as in concrete it doesn't reach him so I mean the speculation of course so yes our me and you can watch my body gait video and my whole point was I said look I stay true to the school of Medina

1:20:11

sorry somebody said Ferrari is not the only transmitter there were many others narrated that book to later generations such as Ibrahim namakkal okay and Hamada Shakir Mansoor al I think what you want to write Bordeaux zeal Albers de we right so so first of all let's a stop right there okay Mansoor is the last narrator transmitter to transmit from Sahil Bihari his thing does not reach us at all despite the fact he's considered utterly unreliable by scholars of heavy but even

1:20:49

that said let's see a copy from one so let's see anything that you have from Mansoor put that aside a mindedness shark here there's some things from Hamada shocker nothing substantial some things some people have said the main transmitter the other one Ibrahim of namakkal I actually have it I have it my friend I this is not news the only transmission you have through him is through the teacher of hobby right who transmits in hasting and even he says Fatah be in his sermon which I actually brought for my research for Bihari I actually flew out because I was like I need that book

1:21:28

throughout to a different country found it bought it came back with it because the whole thing was in that book he only brings 1200 hadith not the almost 8000 of Sahil Bihari 1200 in his introduction he says and even I don't have the complete thing through ibrahim of namakkal so i have to even in this summary i have to still rely on ferrari so that's the first point the second thing is hadith is that which is transmitted besom are not just each other like if I pick this book up and

1:22:06

say I give you this each a certain they could be mistakes in this book that's not how a thief is transmitted that's called wa Jada or mu now Allah mu now Allah even which other if you just found it for MU now Allah is not a reliable transmission for hadith if you read call the yards book on sama on how to transmit hadith called ilma he actually says most all am I considered that Haram they actually considered it liar Jews that you transmit that to be the words of the Prophet as in believing it if you just had it sent to you like this because there could be many errors in it and this my friend explains why we

1:22:46

have part of the problem today the only way you can teach her teeth is Biss samar that means it has to keep going from teacher to student as in I've read through it and I say oh well that's actually a mistake because my teacher taught me like this and his teacher taught him like this the only rewire you have motifs along with sama is stated by all the scholars is stated by whether it's going to be called the yard it's stated by he mentions it in his mushara call and well you have even a Hodja in his foot just read the introduction he writes that the only rewire we have miss sama that has come with sama is for a

1:23:26

brain that is the only rewire to have reached Muslims with sama that means that they actually taught and read the Ibrahim Abram Arkell and Nessa fee his rewire that they have the 1200 hadith has not been taught right and whether it was taught to the people around him we don't know it may have been but it was never conveyed so it definitely hasn't reached us it didn't even reach him the Hodja forget us it didn't even reach him the Hajer he even says the only rewire reaching me and reaching us Muslims today worldwide miss Samar is Ferraris and Ferrari

1:24:04

this one the surah brigade for every different dubious character you know this one I I'm not and you know all these people who robbery was such a great Imam Kansai when did probably become any man can you tell me anything about for every that he's what what are the books did he write what were his opinions in Islam what kind of any man was he this is you know posthumous kind of because he died and he conveyed

1:24:41

Sybok Adi comes through him so therefore we've now turned him into a great Imam to help our cause this is just self engineered reverse-engineering if this was any other religion you would cool it out you'd call that out straight away as the nonsense it is but because we're part of it we're not gonna be critical people in and turn a blind eye and say tiga tiga T you know we we're not worthy we're not with so we must always be true to the cause Allah and His Messenger yes we accept Sahil Bihari I love Rasual lying just like every

1:25:19

other hadith book so long with the three conditions it doesn't go against reason doesn't clash with the Quran it doesn't clash with Islamic principles so long as these three are met fine we accept the Hadees if it does clash then that way is the window my friend you throw it out the window anything that clashes with the real with reason madam you buy in unmarked hole well I'm you Holly Feldman Pole well ami naka de la Sol these are the three principles then so long we accept that and that's why the way taught to us by imam malik okay mom malik teaches us that he brings the most authentic chain

1:25:59

which imam bukhari himself says Iman Bihari himself says there isn't a more authentic chain on earth there is not a yeah oh by the way radar Khan has said this this is a good point actually I want I'm glad you mentioned this now al-khatib al-baghdadi in his book and not just but daddy eveness are kill all these people narrate that robbery said about 70,000 let me correct you radar

1:26:38

gee because your tactic is still a bit below the radar this this topic that you're approaching is been upon is an expert in this his quote is actually 90,000 okay so you you're about 20,000 short but shall taya you're a novice it's okay it's okay right the thing is he actually quotes he says ninety thousand people sat thee and heard Bihari with me this is actually such an embarrassing quote that even Lobby had to say they're happy when he quotes it tries to kind of cover it up

1:27:16

and say this isn't true this isn't somebody must have made this up why because it's so embarrassing he's saying ninety thousand people heard body with me finish the quote you didn't think that this there's more to it he says and none of them are alive today except me he says none of them transmitted today sorry none of them trans me to accept me happy talk about delusions of grandeur who the hell are you

1:27:55

robbery is not even a rated scholar of happy a mom Bihari had many great scholars much great great student much greater than forever forever reason nobody all these great scholars according to him ninety thousand and nobody today transmitted say except him who is unknown rare is such a dish that is such a dish what do you mean like ninety thousand people heard this and the only person left

1:28:31

to transmit it is you nobody knows hey guess what yeah hi Ricky sir right so this is not such a dis way mama Hari that's like a Mamba Hari but if remember Hardy heard that statement machaira would have gone into depression you'd have been like oh I've suffered enough [Laughter] remember Hari would have been yella it

1:29:05

has now got too much for me anyway right watch Michael Hardy gate I've got a detailed video I'm gonna go back and forth on this right but if you watch my book hardy gate I tackle all of these issues then what I'll do is I'll take a few rapid round questions that some people have posted because people say I neglect their questions and I don't want to I don't want to upset the people you know let's see mm-hmm and then what I'll

1:29:42

do is I'll do a bit of the multi masala and then we can call it a night people right anywhere what is that somebody still radar Khan he's still going on please watch my body gate video and here is a challenge bring any scholar scholar with the condition is a scholar he must be on my pay grade you know preferably a Mufti II cuz I but it doesn't have to be a multi any scholar any Imam tell them

1:30:21

to watch Musti what is it watch my video on Bihari it's on YouTube hora gate and tell them to have a dialogue with me on it any of them if they can prove to me today authentically with an unblocked that soil Bihari going back there is any single person cannot indicate for every for me from one up from somebody who actually met him one person who actually met him and actually says not just don't infer don't say oh but he never criticized him that's just because I don't criticize you doesn't

1:31:01

mean I accept you right some people might just be silent but somebody who actually vouches for him one person I won't ask for - one huh on there's only one God one Quran so one one vouching will do just one so you bring me one person who says Imam for robbery I say Imam he wasn't any man but chalo Mohammed evening Yusuf Alpha robbery is a reliable scholar in hadith but with the condition that the person saying it has actually met him not somebody coming a hundred years after he's dead there's no point you know like that's like me

1:31:40

saying you know I don't know John Smith who lived in 1905 who died in 1905 was an excellent had an excellent memory he said well have you ever met John Smith no okay easy fazool you know this kind of vouching is just ridiculous I'd like that come about for anybody yeah he had an extra memory here next time memory here God have you actually researched I mean did you actually meet them no do you know anything about them

1:32:19

no did they ever talk to you know a cha cha cha cha so so please like this I can vouch for robbery yeah for every my degree yeah I look I don't get me wrong I respect for every he said well he did well yeah well played you know it did well but he was but I'm just trying to be objective I'm just trying to go by the science of hadith the science of hadith is he ought to be vouched for you know like like you know like when I become a Mufti I have to be vouched for the most

1:32:57

I need to pass a test you know and it have a certificate so for every needs to be vouched for now people need to say for every for every job hey mom February you're the dawn one person is vouch for him say doesn't need to praise him too highly just say that Luke is acceptable in hadi I won't ask for a second ja ja Gigli apne zindagi that's what I'll say I'll say JA for a breacher your mom's up G lo apne zindagi so that's the let's go to let's take some of these

1:33:35

questions really quickly but like I said you're more than welcome to watch my body gait get any mom to have a dialogue with me on it if I'm wrong they can easily disprove me easily so easy easy what would I know anyway just come on look at me look at me do I look like I know anything on this should be easy for them to refute me right okay party on ah forget this I got the only question can you explain in kearney kids please ah what a ridiculous question

1:34:08

people I hate these kind of questions I'm gonna be honest right so somebody said scholar $4 but he Omar Yatta Yatta scholar $4 by misspell the scholar okay right so I hate these kind of questions really because they're meaningless they have no purpose buying them in kind of kiss it means that can Allah lie this is stupid because what is the point of this

1:34:46

question what are you trying to question yeah like Han Abajo and I've mentioned before people like shelter Amma Bonnell booty and other people have answered these kind of things saying look if you're asking about capacity allah has the capacity to do anything you know he's God but do we believe that he has lied we don't believe that we believe a lie God is truthful in what he has said but are we saying that God is incapacitated he's incapable of things but why are you even asking such

1:35:23

a question which would place God in a negative light like it's like saying you know can God be can God just be responsible for genocide I mean what kind of a dumb question is that you know God doesn't do these things people like this need to seriously get themselves checked out mentally because what is this internal kids internal kids can God like and God like lying simply means to state something that doesn't correlate with reality like if I held this up now

1:36:00

and I said this is a red mug it isn't what I said does not correlate with reality this is a white watch it isn't all I've done if I said now there is a mobile phone in my hand I've said something that does not correlate with reality so you're asking that action is God incapacitated to do that like for God to state something that doesn't correlate with reality would incapacitate him and he would somehow

1:36:36

you know be in an incapable being well that's obviously a dumb question well I'm sure anybody can state something that doesn't correlate with reality there's nothing so big about that so what's the point of this whole in carnal kids it's a stupid indoor park debate that is still going on between the open these and gravy's they need to fix themselves okay right so this is and look there you go we've Green vouched for by mallanna had him Hussain Riza that's it in the words of mawlana hardened hussain

1:37:14

rizvi to those people this isn't a my word he's with the live he's got these famous words [Laughter] do we need to give the cut if we pay taxes in countries with advanced warfare system that's an interesting question I think that is an interesting question generally I would say that we need to do each the hard in things like that the card is still something I would I would say that Muslims should give if

1:37:53

they can if they are eligible to pay the zakat but I think that question does hold some integrity in it is something that is worth researching and looking into which golden chains of Imam Malik TV rejected rejected his own golden chain Imam Malik has what is called the golden chain II remember how he called it the golden chain hence it got the name the golden chain and since alot of the habían that is Malik kunafa and abnormal between Malik and the Profi or two people now fit from abnormal this is called the golden chain in hadith so there's several of these and others

1:38:32

but there's including the golden chain which Imam Malik brings in the moth on then tells you by the way we don't accept this have you that's in several hadith he does though because I'm Imam Malik said he said that because the Dean comes to us through a master on mass basically through this living tradition of Medina these isolated narrations of hadith he said will snatch the Deen from in front of us he said that the Dean is a thousand from a thousand one on one he said will snatch this theme from in front of me those are his words the elephone and health that were hidden why he he n0d me

1:39:11

Benedict and so that was the statement of Imam Ali and that's what where I responded to Jonathan Brown by saying that this is what I stand this is what we stand true to the legacy of the school of Medina what our genes is their difference between genes and John if you read the Quran there's no fixed meaning of Jim that is true Jhin simply means something that is unseeable like you cannot is from the unseen that's all it means gin it doesn't actually like I know today when we say gene we think of like

1:39:49

demon but the term gem in the Quran generally is referring to some just the unseen something of the unseen now and then it does refer to like a being an entity from that but what is that entity like for example does the entity exists in just the quantum world we don't know see these are questions nobody ever they didn't think of in the past because they didn't understand the quantum world in the past so would it be possible to fly to London and learn from you wha-wha

1:40:26

flatter'd flat area a KL oh well you're most welcome to to come to I mean I'm in Birmingham not in London but you're most welcome to drop by if you ever want to reach out and link up just reach out to Mohammed Shaaban on Facebook and it shall ah he'll set it all up okay so is it normal for mostly to be late hell yeah it's very normal you know time around me just runs on a different parallel it's not you know there's that famous there was a song it's a bollywood song that made air curtana he did hoja

1:41:05

tea you know it's like I it's not that I delay things it's just that I oh it's not that I'm late it's just that I get late it sounds much better in order though I gotta say hmm they had the you know somebody's asked about the black seed you see people like the great Malachy legend even hold on and the sociology scholar has highlighted that look the medicine that the prophet salallahu alaihe salam spoke of was generally medicine used by the arabs in

1:41:44

his time they were not islamically divine medicine medicine they weren't things that were godly inspired they were just things that had cures to them so Nature has cure has a cure to many things but so the the diseases that come from nature have the cure in nature so you know people that have through trial and error unearthed uncovered discovered these things so they can swear by them and people will say so for example garlic that it has ridiculous I mean so it has amazing

1:42:23

credible ridiculous has incredible kind of healing powers it may you know it's anti-inflammatory and and it kind of boosts the immune system and it does all these things and people could say today that for example certain fish oils how they repair the joints and things like this salt there's many things that today obviously through science we know a lot more but nature has a cure to many things around us so now based on that so in the prophet's time they also had access to these things so they would say that so for example black seed is a cure

1:43:01

to everything because of its miraculous nature that it when I say miraculous I mean casually miraculous I don't mean like divinely miraculous but because it was an amazing agent in in boosting the immune system or doing the things that it did does that mean this is somehow some Islamic medicine now no there's no such thing as in Islamic medicine ok some Muslims did go off on that road of Islamic medicine and I think it's just really I think silly and it's just insecurities that I know people I even or am started it and this whole thing

1:43:39

because they felt insecure because of Muslims taking up regular medic medicine and science and they wanted to kind of show that actually there must be an Islamic science an Islamic medicine this stuff it makes no sense it's like saying Islamic physics Islamic mathematics what are we even talking about what do these things even mean Islamic mathematics Islamic physics Islamic biology there is no such thing there is no Islamic medicine medicine it's just medicine it's just through trial and error these things are not to do with religion so even a Holden writes this very clearly

1:44:19

in his Makati man where he speaks about medicine that these things that come through to us through the hadith or not Islamic per se they just the Prophet is speaking of them as he would being from that environment so not to think this is something God is saying you must take but it's just something that generally the Arabs of the time did so the Arabs of the time used copping bloodletting this is not an Islamic thing yes the Prophet also partook in bloodletting and things like this but so did everybody in that environment it wasn't just the Prophet everybody regardless Muslim

1:44:58

non-muslim everybody did it so the Prophet also did it it's like if I live in the UK today whether I'm a Muslim or whether somebody's a non-muslim this many things will all just do because of the day and age because of our shared culture our shared environment so it's things like that so these things are not Islamic per se okay right okay okay people with that I think we're gonna have to start wrapping it up called oh I almost forgot yes magic exists oh I've answered all of that before people some people said Musti never has

1:45:37

a healthy drink online so I get this one you know the orange juice never from concentrate right so people this week's musty masala tea masala segment so people guess what it reaches me it reaches me there is a power struggle you know there's a power struggle going on

1:46:12

so our beloved share her sir RG in his local Birmingham estate it's been a lot of the the power struggle between the old community and the new committee you know the I don't know if you guys have heard of this but this the the police has been involved in police Casey I'm gonna people right so this you won't truly understand unless I I brought this up earlier on me I want you to picture

1:46:46

this um put the volume doors getting locked [Music] [Laughter] [Music]

1:47:14

[Music] or choppy Corti so what's happened people I gotta fill you in wait so what's happened is Hum Tum a cameraman the whole if we are locked in a room or chubby coda and the key is lasting what this one what what the problem is they've been locked but they've been locked outside

1:47:51

so what's happened people so apparently some people a few months ago I think maybe four months or five months ago decided to ask oh sure a cerrar and the old committee members whoever of the mosque so they went in and they changed all the locks and they had all the the new keys and the people couldn't come in and these guys somehow became the new members by I mean they became in charge because they changed the locks and they said they had a right and and then there

1:48:30

was this struggle going on back forth back forth and I think part of the condition my musty Intel tell intelligentsia the Wassa Wassa tells me that one of the conditions was they wanted shares are are removed from the mosque I don't know why you know he's a pleasant this one it's a nice boy you know so he was apparently meant to be part of the condition was I think to remove share her sorrow from the mosque so there was a negotiation battle going on battle of the Titans people these people change the locks no old people

1:49:09

they conquer the old committee people conquer me no no so what's happened is recently upon an opportunity the old committee they come and they change the lock lock change back you know key no work you know so so they've changed the locks so now the new the the coup the coup committee were trying to do a coup couldn't get back in so they took the matter to court so the court issued a warrant of execution you know that one not that

1:49:47

execution the judge execution so the warrant and they issued an order evacuation order to say that they all people must vacate the building within 24 hours of being served this notice and they said that if they don't then that is a criminal offense that may result let me one moment my friends that may

1:50:22

result in prison you know prison so so as you can imagine that's like what the hell let me just see if I've got it here I gotta be careful all right now I think I'm deleted but there's the actual order going around so they said that if anybody violates this everybody must evacuate the premises an eviction order nobody to be in these premises within 24 hours of being served and then it was cordoned off and they had the police tape on they do not enter and nobody was

1:51:01

allowed in the Masjid yeah so this is the the coup committee had got this order so then there was a speech why sure sir are in his local masjid saying we will defy the order right so he's saying people start strong but what this so he's reading out that he said that what this locker chubby coat I but we need to get in you know we need to get in so so he was like oh we will tomorrow we will carry on we'll go in there we will resist and if

1:51:41

anybody forcibly tries to remove us from this masjid then we will stand our ground and he gave this whole rally the thing and so I believe he turned up with some of his past to 24 hours he turned up with some of his supporters they went into the Masjid or they tried to I think they broke in to get in and the other guys just call the cops like D yeah who you are is like esta pasando esta pasando what is going on people what is

1:52:17

going on this is this is locked doors you know isn't that the dua Allah most ugly ababa Matic open your doors of but there's a power struggle you know the doors are locked so bechara chef s Raji has been left outside door locked kundi the kundi has been has been has been placed in the kundi so and he's standing outside

1:52:56

bechara difficult times he's been so apparently the new committee are saying the coup committee now part of the condition is that Sharad cannot be welcome back Khun DeMuth cut call Raja see then there are Raja so I'm not welcome here no no no no so bechara chefs rod is going through some difficult time I think you know but we want share this rod to know that no matter how many goes are slammed shut that the dose of our hearts are always open

1:53:35

Sheikh assir our our heart is always open for you okay so so this is this is some of the politics going on it reaches me that there's all this struggle going on in Woodland Road mosque in Birmingham and at the centre of it she has robbed so I was like power politics people committees sectarianism so I had to speak on it but off source

1:54:12
